Also I looked up the wind turbine video because I had to know what happens and it turn out he just stops and gets off the bike. Which is disappointing but still wildly impressive.

Lol, yeah. That one's probably a walk in the park technique-wise compare to the others when you look at the size of the turbine blade, but add in the actual surroundings and it's still absolutely nuts.

How are they going to cut the video as he's heading toward the edge of the turbine blade, I don't even want to see how far he got and how the gently caress he turned around. Good lord the sack on that lad.

It seems to happen every couple years around here. Another dump truck smokes a highway overpass with the box up:

Published Friday, October 13, 2023 9:19AM EDT

Multiple highway lanes have been closed after a dump truck with a raised bin crashed into a bridge in Markham early Friday morning.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say the truck was travelling south on Highway 404 around 1 a.m. when it struck the overpass on Highway 407.

In photos uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, the bin of the dump truck can be seen badly damaged. Police say the driver was not injured. Police have not indicated whether the driver will face charges.


The bridge sustained some damage, according to police, but engineers have since deemed it structurally safe.

Police reminded drivers Friday to make sure they check the outside of their vehicles before departing.

“Circle checks are very important,” OPP Const. Timothy Dunnah, said in a video posted to X. “Take a few moments to walk around your vehicle before you depart.”

Lanes in the area will be blocked for the next few hours, the OPP said

hey bebe



I have never driven a dump truck. Even so it surprises me that there isn't a trip switch or something, that shines an indicator light on the dash, showing the position of the bed. Or a transmission/PTO transfer to operate the bed while the chassis is stationary. Yes, you need an exception for rolling dirt/stone drops, but are you ever going faster than first gear for such drops?

This god drat buzzer keeps going off every time I raise the bed to dump my load, I'm going to rip those stupid wires out to get this dumb thing to shut up

I imagine it being like any other truck I've driven for a large company, where they will stop short of actually TELLING you to ignore or bypass safety systems like that, but it's known around the shop that stopping work over "dumb safety crap" is a career-limiting move via the various ways an employee can be poo poo on without creating a paper trail.

Then somebody hits a bridge with a dumper, and the company can point to the 20 minute safety video they made the guy watch 4 years ago, pretend it was just one lazy naughty driver mishandling company equipment to save time, and "but we fired that guy, problem completely solved!!!1"

IIRC a lot of bridge strikes are multiple failures issues on equipment old enough to vote. Something like the interlock stops you from engaging the bed hydraulic control above XYZ speed but there is a bleeding valve to the bed raise hydraulic and/or return valve is stuck closed and the bed raise indicate light is burnt out.

You mean the interlock was deliberately bypassed because it briefly inconvenienced someone once.

One of the more valuable things I’ve learned over years of working with manufacturers is that if you ever do a root cause analysis on a problem, and end up blaming human error, you have hosed up and should try again.

The root cause of human error is that is was possible to operate in an error state.

The approach I take is that you need to always make it easier to do things the 'correct' way than the incorrect way, because people will do it however is easiest.

it was a process problem, in that the process's complexity was inappropriatly scaled for the operators

Thats one thing I've noticed. A lot of that sort of thing, dump trucks in particular are OLD AF. Guys just getting in to it as owner operators buying their first truck, or people that don't like them Pinko Commie emission controls so they run the oldest poo poo and of course half the poo poo is broken and they don't bother fixing it because why bother, "that particular thing doesn't need to be working to pass the annual inspection" and so on.

I still blame the driver for not glancing in their mirror literally once in however long they were driving before hitting the bridge. Use every mirror constantly, enough that you can tell when something doesn't look like it normally does.

I am totally on board with the philosophy that "human error" is not a root cause, but a constant that systems need to be designed around, but it can also be true that people that strike bridges with their dumps up are bad drivers who shouldn't drive trucks.
